TABLE OF CONTENT



Background & needs • The main priorities for EU policy over the coming years are Jobs, Growth,

Investment and A Digital Single Market

• The goal is to foster growth, competiveness, jobs and the development ofinternal market by making better use of the opportunities created bydigital technologies

• EC launched the Digital Transport and Logistic Forum (DTLF) which bringstogether stakeholders from transport and logistic industries

• Absence of a common framework, architecture, business model andgovernance structure for connecting corridors across-borders usingexisting IT systems and services



Background & needs Standardisation

• Many digital platforms on freight transport and logistics: – EC FP & H2020 Projects solutions– Port Community systems (PCS) & Cargo Community System (CCS)– e-Customs platforms– Single Window platforms– Proprietary ICT /ITS Solutions

• Open standards and EU initiatives – UBL/XML, EDIFACT, GS1, Open Data Standards, DATEX II– ITS Directive, RIS, eMaritime– (ETPs), such as ALICE, ERTRAC, ERRAC, Waterborne



Background & needs Global policy changes-emissions

• Logistics actors have started to implement environmentally friendly collaborative strategiesaddressing supply chain

• The existence of different standards & initiatives each with own methodology and calculation tools for carbon footprint of transport is hampering the comparison and analysis of results

• Logistics companies still need to track, document and disclose their CO2 emissions as customers now want to know more about the supply chain provenance of the products they buy

• Logistics companies face continuous economic pressure and need to improve further their operations in order to survive



Background & needs An industry in transformation: Consolidation



Background & needs CONSOLIDATION AND FRAGMENTATION IN THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY



What is shaping the future of global logistics markets?

• Supply chain visibility will soon be standard business practice (2-5 years)

• AI and Block chain (10+ years)



Background & needs

In the absence of a common framework, architecture, business modeland governance structure for connecting corridors across-bordersusing existing IT systems and services, AEOLIX was launched inSeptember 2016 also with the aim of:

➢ optimization of cargo flows

➢ the facilitation of supply chain management

➢ the reduction of administrative burdens and

➢ to make better use of existing resources.



AEOLIX Community Ecosystem➢ End Users: logistics

service providers, shippers, retailers, terminal operators, ports, forworders, etc.

➢ Public Authorities at the local, national and European level

➢ Service Providers and Developers

➢ Service Enablers➢ Technology Suppliers



AEOLIX Community Ecosystem





Consortium Partners:

• University of Trieste and Polytechnic University of Bari

• SAMER&Co. Shipping supported by Info.era

• Interporto di Trieste

Associated partner involved in the LL4:

• Port Authority

• Autovie Venete (motorway)

• Customs agency

LL4: Intermodal e-Customs

Objective:Optimization of the customs procedures and theenhancement of the intermodal transport efficiencyand quality in Trieste, and thus position the port andthe Interporto di Trieste to be able to manage futuregrowth, in particular to foster railway traffic.

• Introduction

• AEOLIX goals

• AEOLIX approach

• Architecture overview

• Trieste Living Lab application

• guide.me app

• Conclusions



“Information is power only if you can take action with it.

Then, and only then, does it represent knowledge and, consequently, power.”

Daniel Burrus

Introduction

Information should be:

- Easy to access

- Easy to share

- Easy to control

- Useful/Tailored

- Data format



AEOLIX goals

• to provide technological solutions to enhance and simplify

collaboration among actors along the supply chain;

• to adopt and provide core functionalities to improve, optimize

and automate transport and logistics operations within supply

chain collaborations;

• to simplify information exchange within an integrated security

framework.



AEOLIX goals

Technical issues:

• Different actors use different languages

• Different actors may be interested in the same information

• Security (who can access to the information)



AEOLIX approach

• Publish/Subscribe pattern

• Authentication and accreditation

• Toolkit accessible through the platform (Estimation Time of Arrival,

performance evaluation, CO2 monitoring)

• Coding/deconding of messages in an Internal standard messages

structure



Architecture overview

When a Member creates a data source, he can set its status to public. Thenew data source will appear in a catalogue and any Member can requestaccess to it





Data format• The XML data format for ships arrival

information has been proposed.

• This data format allows interoperability.

• Each “vessel” element in the list contains several elements.Syntax is described in the schema.

• Similar schemas have been created for other datasets: e.g. customs clearance status for trucks on the ship.

• LL4 DSS translates information from PCS into this structure

• AEOLIX connectivity engine used for management of data feeds (ship information)across Ports.

• Example : dashboard overview

Management of data feeds on the AEOLIX Dashboard



• The AEOLIX platform is presented

• Finally the Trieste Living Lab implementation is presented

Advantages• The information exchange is simplified

• The data protection and access is fully customizable

• The B2B approach is supported by the connectivity APIs

• The Publish/subscribe pattern allows the connection of software created by thirdparty

• It is possible to ingrate other platform
